Hello, I´m Stefan from Germany.
please excuse my bad english!
My age is 51 and I´m a Plumber and Heating builder master in Rheinland Pfalz, near Kaiserslautern.
When I was a little Boy I often saw them driving in our town and loved them, and the sound! That´s why I love american cars!
I hope someone can help me to find some historie about my 1972 C3 Corvette Coupe war bonnet yellow, that I bought from Martin (www.martinsranch.de).
A gorgeous 1972 Corvette Stingray all Matching Numbers, with factory A/C, P/S, PDB, Tilt and Teloscopic, Power Windows, and so much more.
VIN: 1Z37K2S506810 The seller at Sebring, Florida (33875) was "twofranks"?!?
Maybe you know her, gmjunkie sold it some time ago.
I have the lady since February 2015.
Thanks for help!

Welcome to the forum, Stefan, and congratulations on your sharp C3!
Hope you find the history of the car information you are looking for.
Please do not apologize - Your English is much better than my German. You are very understandable!
Thank you for your replies! And Hello to MellWff. I know Pirmasens, was going to school in Annweiler near Pirmasens. My grandparents have lived in K´Town (Kaiserslautern).
I know the technical specifications from this Corvette, but I´d like to know more of the previous owner! Where was it bought by whom, where has the Corvette spent the last decades?

Car has 58,095 Original Miles and it shows. The entire car is original, it had one repaint very close to the Original Color which was War Bonnet Yellow. Paint and Body are in excellent shape,
all the fender lips are clean with no repair panels. Paint is about 8 years old not perfect but still very nice. No cracks, and all the gaps are perfect.
Interior is all original black and shows some wear but in overall good shape for being 43 years old mainly the driver seat which has about a 2” hole pictured.
All gauges work with the exception of the temp gauge, which needs the correct sensor installed which is included and the clock. Headlights and wiper door both work as they should,
headlights come up fast and both at the same time. Wipers pop right out when the door opens and work perfectly. The rear carpet has some stains could probably just be cleaned,
I just have too many cars and not enough time. Power windows work like new and go up and down great. Aftermarket radio for listening to some nice music while driving with the tops out.
Engine is the Matching Numbers Original 350 with VIN that matches the car 506810 and is the 200 Horse KX code with Turbo 400. Runs great, starts right up, trans shifts super smooth, new clutch fan,
new water pump, new intake, rebuilt carburetor, tons more. I have had it personally on 100 mile road trips without a hiccup, doesn’t run hot, tracks down the road great, even at 70 mph highway speeds.
New exhaust gives it a nice muscle car sound. Underneath is super solid, frame is like new, brakes and suspension are tight and work great. Rims are original rallys with tires that are about 80%.
Chrome and stainless are original and great shape for their age. Lights, turn signals, etc all work as they should. Basically about the most affordable 1972 Corvette you will find that you can hop in
and drive cross-country and take to a local show. A/C was all replaced but now needs a new compressor clutch as it is starting to make noise but kicks on and blows out the vents fine
and was extremely cold prior to clutch starting to go. Overall a nice Corvette that has the Matching Numbers original engine and transmission and can be driven right away,
getting hard to find these older chrome bumper Corvettes especially in this original and nice of shape. As you can tell from the pictures the car has been well preserved and taken great care of,
always garaged and always draws a crowd at the shows and gets plenty of thumbs up on the highways. Local inspections welcome and encouraged, car is as advertised with no disappointments, as with most classics sold as-is. Clear Florida Title ready for the lucky new owner" That was in 2014... Now there are 10.000miles more on the Ondometer! A Foto from old times in Sebring USA My two Ladys in Germany I know, the exhaust system is not original First place... I hope gmjunkie (previous owner Jesse Anderson from Old Fort,North Carolina /Vero Beach Florida /Lewistown Montana) can give me more informations?!? Unfortunately I can't make contact with him.

Welcome and great looking C3. Good luck in finding out more about the car - I see where you have posted in the C3 General section and hopefully you will get some leads from the members over there.

How ever, I hope you like the pictures and anyone can give me more informations or tell gmjunkie my telefon numbre!
Thanks
